American cars have always been different from everyone else – and they naturally have both ardent fans and detractors. However, nowadays it is quite difficult to guess which cars are actually American. Legends like the Dodge Challenger or Chevy Silverado are made in Canada or Mexico,<\/strong> most of the Buick lineup comes from China. At the same time, Honda models come from Ohio and Alabama – not only as final assembly, but also as the source of most components.<\/p>\n

All major Mercedes crossover<\/a>s are built at the Tuscaloosa, Alabama plant, including the top-of-the-line GLS Maybach.<\/p>\n

Since the 1990s, US law has required all vehicles sold in the country to include information about the origin of parts and place of manufacture in their unique body number. Looking at current data<\/a>, we found, for example, that the new Mercedes-Benz GLE has nearly three times as many American parts as the Ford Fusion and 17 times as many as the Buick Encore. In the iconic Ford GT supercar, only 20% of the parts are American and Canadian, and in the new BMW X5 – as much as 35% (as in German). The Tesla Model 3 has only 45% components from the US and Canada.<\/p>\n

10 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350<\/strong>
\nThe most American German SUV is produced at Daimler's plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, along with the larger GLS. However, the percentage of components of American or Canadian origin varies depending on the modification. For the petrol GLE 350, this percentage reaches a record 69%, because the engine is made in North America, and most of the transmission comes from Germany. In other versions, especially diesel ones, the percentage of Europe<\/a>an components is higher. However, even they are much more “American” than cars like the Jeep Wrangler or the Ford Expedition.<\/p>\n

Production: Tuscaloosa, Alabama, USA<\/a>
\nEngine origin: USA
\nTransmission origin: Germany
\nUS and Canadian components: 69%<\/p>\n

9 Chrysler 300<\/strong>
\nThanks to decades of free trade between the US and Canada, US law does not differentiate between US and Canadian components or this sedan would not have made it into the rankings. It's made in Canada, its rear suspension is from Mercedes, and in the fancier version with the 5.7-liter V8 engine, it's from Mexico. But the V6 variants have American engines.<\/p>\n

Production: Brampton, Ontario, Canada
\nEngine origin: Mexico or USA.
\nTransmission origin: United States
\nUS and Canadian components: 69%<\/p>\n

8 Honda Odyssey.<\/strong>
\nIn some ways, Honda is more American than Japanese. Its North American division, based in Torrance, California, has 12 different plants in the United States, scattered from Alabama to Ohio and Georgia to Indiana.
\nThe Odyssey, for example, is made in Lincoln, Alabama. That's where the V6 engine came from. The 10-speed automatic transmission is manufactured at the Talapooza, Georgia plant.<\/p>\n

Manufactured: Lincoln, Alabama, USA
\nEngine origin: USA
\nTransmission origin: USA
\nUS and Canadian components: 70%<\/p>\n

7 Honda Ridgeline<\/strong>
\nTrue American patriots from the interior of the country favor the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado or Ram 1500. But the facts are indisputable: the most American pickup is actually \u2026 Honda Ridgeline.<\/p>\n

Manufactured: Lincoln, Alabama, USA
\nEngine origin: USA
\nTransmission origin: USA
\nUS and Canadian components: 70%<\/p>\n

6 Mercedes C-Class C300<\/strong>
\nAnd here it all comes down to versions. For example, hybrid variants or AMG models contain 0% American content. But the C300 sedan reaches 70%, and only 16% of the components come from Germany. A two-liter petrol engine is also produced by the state.<\/p>\n

Production: Tuscaloosa, Alabama, USA
\nEngine origin: USA
\nTransmission origin: Germany
\nUS and Canadian components: 70%<\/p>\n

5 Honda Pilot The<\/strong>
\nPilot is built in the same factory as the Ridgeline and Odyssey and uses the same engines and transmissions. In the seven-seater segment, the Pilot is the most “American” – the Toyota Highlander<\/a> has North American components at 55%, while the Hyundai Palisade has just 5%.<\/p>\n

Manufactured: Lincoln, Alabama, USA
\nEngine origin: USA
\nTransmission origin: USA
\nUS and Canadian components: 70%<\/p>\n

4 Dodge Chargers.<\/strong>
\nAnd the Charger, like the other Dodge Challenger icon, has long been made not in the US, but in Canada. But it has 4% more components from North America than its counterpart. Although both the six-cylinder and V8 engines are actually made in Saltijo, Mexico. 17% of the components are Mexican, and the gearbox is from Germany.<\/p>\n

Production: Brampton, Ontario, Canada
\nOrigin of the engine: Mexico.
\nTransmission origin: Germany
\nUS and Canadian components: 70%<\/p>\n

3 Jeep Cherokee<\/strong>
\nWrangler – an emblem of American automotive character and national pride since World<\/a> War II – is currently made up of only 61% components from the United States and Canada. The Cherokee fares better, largely because the main engines are made in Michigan.<\/p>\n

Manufactured: Belvidier, Illinois, USA
\nEngine Origin: USA
\nTransmission Origin: USA
\nUS & Canadian Components: 71%<\/p>\n

2 Chevrolet Corvette<\/strong>
\nForty years ago, GM bought an old Chrysler air conditioning unit and turned it into the new home of the Corvette. It has consistently produced the Corvette Stingray since 1981, as well as its iconic V8 engine and transmission.<\/p>\n

Manufactured: Bowling Green, Kentucky, USA
\nEngine origin: USA
\nTransmission origin: USA
\nUS and Canadian components: 72%<\/p>\n

1 Ford Mustang<\/strong>
\nEven the F-150 has more than a third of its components already of external origin. But the Mustang continues to be at the forefront: it is still made in Michigan, and the percentage of American units in it has even increased slightly over the past year. The new 2.3-liter Ecoboost is made in Brook Park, Ohio, while the monstrous 760-horsepower V8 from the GT500 version is made in Romio, Michigan.<\/p>\n

Manufactured: Flat Rock, Michigan, USA
\nEngine Origin: USA
\nTransmission Origin: USA
\nUS & Canadian Components: 77%<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
